About this Event
The Carwyn Collaborational is a boutique international beer festival of an ilk not seen in Australia before. The festival will pair 12 of the best craft breweries in Australia with 12 renowned international breweries in a street party style festival on Blythe St in Thornbury, Melbourne.
